Here's what's going on.

K-Drama King The Land had a rough beginning. Many people thought that the show was too predictable and had bad writing.

After the third episode, the number of people who watched it went up, as people got used to its "2000s K-Drama" quirks.

King the Land is finally hitting its stride as it gets close to the halfway point. From June 26 to July 2, 2023, it was watched legally by 4,000,000 different people on Netflix alone.

It was also watched for a total of 24,500,000 hours. This made it the best show on Netflix that wasn't in English.

Not only that, but it was number one in seven countries, including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

In 24 other countries, it stayed in the top 10 as well. Episode 6 had a local rating of 12% for people who didn't watch it on Netflix.

The people of Korea had nothing but good things to say about the show.

It's a lot of fun. The leads look good and get along well too.

I'm telling you, it's so much fun. Congrats!

Oh, good job! Things are getting more interesting.

It seems like everything that theqoo hates at first does well in the end. How funny LOL.

Wow.

So many kids acted like if this became famous, it would be the end of the world. The show seems to be going well.

How good is it? Should I watch it?

The fifth and sixth episodes were hilarious. I usually watch it on Netflix, but it looks like I'll have to start watching it live starting this week. I really like Cheon Sa Rang and Gu Won.

They make good jokes and are cute.

Since the show has a lot of fans, it's only a matter of time before it breaks even more records for how many people watch it.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
